Question 2

Jim and Pam are at the beach soaking up the sunlight when Pam notices that Jim's feet are very callused and hers are not.What would cause Jim's feet to be callused,while Pam's are not?

Accepted Answer

The stratified squamous epithelium of the skin (like many other tissues)responds to the stresses applied to it.The most likely scenario is that Jim puts more weight on his feet and is more active than Pam,resulting in more stress being applied to his feet.As a result,the stratified squamous epithelium of the soles of his feet has thickened.
